Highly recommended for shopaholics. MBK (which stands for “Mahboonkrong”) has 7 massive floors, offering a market-type shopping mayhem experience.
This hugely popular mall is a maze of stalls and shops selling almost everything. Excellent for used designer jeans, cell phones, souvenirs, and jewelry. Artists on the ground floor can replicate photographs as paintings.
MBK has a large mobile phone section, with dozens of booths selling ‘pay as you go’ Thai SIM cards (if you’re staying in Thailand for more than a few days, a Thai SIM card can save you money). There are dozens of international restaurants as well as fast food chains such as Starbucks.
